'74 Schwinn Paramount w/ modern Campy

Hey all, I have a '74 60 cm Coppertone Paramount (P-15, I think) that I'd like to sell, and would like some opinions.

Basically, the previous owner updated it sometime in the late 90's with 9 speed Campy Chorus and Racing T components (Chorus brifters, Racing T triple and Racing T RD, Chorus hubs, basically all Campy except for the Nitto stem, Sakae handlebars, and Chris King headset) and had it professionally repainted and the frame modified so that the cable routing is internal (strange I know). The work was obviously well done, which makes me think it was all done at Waterford (nice replacement decals and all that). It's a really sweet riding machine, and looks pretty clean, other than some paint chips in the front fork and a small, shallow ding in the top tube (pics forthcoming).

I just recently had it tuned and now it rides like a dream. Is $650 an ambitious asking price, considering the "modernization" of a classic? It's a killer ride, but definitely not a museum piece. Opinions?
